Well, since everyone here needs money (me included), I thought I would take the initiative in starting a topic to discuss various *legal* techniques for generating $$$ for our projects.
that would make way too much sense, and what if no one is hiring, and is in fact many are scaling back?

Make a massively multiplayer online game that doesn't require anything other than a browser and 800x600, then charge people $1 or so to join the game. Oh wait, I'm already doing that. Nvm.

too bad no one would join - there are already many MMOs that fit that description, and all are free
You really should keep a free version around. Then make a $1 membership or something for new buildings and other stuff.

Maybe I will. Hmmm

Runescape is what I was thinking of when I suggested the free version & membership. I have a level 77. I used to love that game. Now I can't stand it.

http://www.urbandead.com/ - pretty fun if all you got is a webbrowser, although not necessarily the *best* example, i'm sure you can find others. Just google for "free web browser MMO"
runscape is "high-end" example, with its fancy java powered graphics
Wow, those Runescape graphics are nice! I was starting to think about what I could do if Multiplicity was in Flash, but I want to try to keep it as simple as possible for the client.
Indeed. I bet I could also make some money with letting people accelerate their progress by purchasing tyes (the monetary denomination) with $$...
@foamy: If you want, you could sell your character on eBay; Runescape characters and items sell for ridiculous prices there

I agree, i almost run up and beat people on the head for mentioning it now, I finally traded my level 83 account for like 10 gold / green items in Guild Wars (don't you play that?)
Any fool can use a computer. Many do.
I myself have lost a lot of interest in playing games on my computer, don't really know why either.

I personally prefer playing console games, as the quality of console games are generally higher than that of regular PC games.

Mainly because console companies have to get it right the first time, computer companies can patch and patch again.
Also, there are still some REALLY fun games out there (I am addicted to Warcraft 3, and Guild Wars).
